1 Students in Northern Ireland were studying the topic of
weather and how to measure and collect weather data. Their school
had a variety of instruments to measure elements of weather,
including traditional instruments and digital equipment linked to
the school’s computer network.
(a) (i) Fig. 1.1 (Insert) is a diagram of a traditional weather
station. What are the pieces of equipment labelled A and B?
A .......................................................

(ii) Describe three features of equipment A and explain why each
feature is important.

The students noticed that the weather was forecast to change
over the next three days, so they decided to take some measurements
to investigate these changes.
One pair of students decided to test the following
hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: As atmospheric pressure changes rainfall amounts
will vary.
Hypothesis 2: Atmospheric pressure affects the direction from
which the wind blows.
The two students measured atmospheric pressure, rainfall and
which direction the wind was blowing from. They took measurements
every three hours using a combination of traditional and digital
instruments.

(e) Another pair of students investigated how the amount of
cloud cover and cloud type had changed over the three days.
(i) Fig. 1.3 (below) shows two examples of the amount of cloud
cover they recorded. The students recorded the amounts in oktas
(eighths). Choose from the values below and fill in the correct
number of oktas for each example. [2]
Choose from the following:

2 Students were studying land use in cities. They learned that
there are parts of a city where one land use is dominant and covers
most of the area, and this is called a land use zone. They did
fieldwork to investigate land use in their local city.
(a) To collect fieldwork data the students were divided into six
groups. Each group went from the city centre outwards along main
roads which were used as transect lines.
Suggest two reasons why the teacher split the class into
groups.

The students investigated the following hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: Residential land use is dominant (covers most of
the land area) at all distances away from the city centre.
Hypothesis 2: The percentage of commercial land use decreases as
distance from the city centre increases.
(b) Along each transect line the students used a systematic
sampling method to select locations to record the land use. Their
teacher told the students to:
• record the land use every 10 metres• only record the ground
floor land use• only record the land use on one side of the
road.
Give two advantages and two disadvantages of this method.
Advantage 1

Advantage 2

(c) Fig. 2.1 (Insert) shows the categories of land use which the
students used along with examples of different types of land
use.

the correct land use category. One example has been completed for
you.

(d) An example of the students’ completed recording sheet along
one section of a transect (201–400 m) is shown in Fig. 2.2
(Insert). Use these results to complete the tally chart, Fig. 2.3
below, which the students used to count the examples in the
different land use categories.

(e) When they had completed their fieldwork, the students
returned to school and added up the results from all transects.
They used these results to draw the divided bar graphs shown in
Fig. 2.4 (Insert).
(i) Which distance from the city centre is shown in Table 2.1
below?
............................. metres [1]

Land use category Percentage
Residential 65
Industrial 10
Commercial (shops) 5
Entertainment 5
Public buildings 0
Open space 5
Transport 5
Services (offices) 5
(ii) What percentage of the total land use is residential
between 1001 and 1200 m from the city centre?
............................. % [1]
(iii) Describe two differences between the land use in sections
0 to 200 m and 1801 to 2000 m away from the city centre. Do not use
statistics in your answer.
